The CleaveMeter 2 is a non-contact interferometer designed for inspecting the

end-faces of cleaved and polished optical fibers with cladding diameters of 125 μm

to 1200 μm. It gives immediate information on important end-face properties such as

flatness, perpendicularity, hackles and dust. Sampling tests as well as continuous process documentation can be carried out both easily and quickly, making this an ideal instrument for cleaver inspection and optimization.
 

The optical system is based on a high-end camera with true megapixel resolution and

very high sensitivity, yielding excellent image quality at high frame rates and high

magnification. Switching between low and high magnification is software-controlled. Highprecision optics guarantees sharp and clear images and fringe patterns with very

little aberration.
 

The CleaveMeter 2 comes with user friendly and efficient software available in two

different versions – standard and premium. Standard software features include cleave

angle measurements with in-picture presentation of results, user-defined markers at points of interest, pseudo-color mode for better contrast and the ability to log information, save and load images to and from files. The premium software package includes support for measurement of plane angles and fiber diameters as well as compensation for adapter plate angle error for increased accuracy.
 

The CleaveMeter 2 comes in a small ergonomic, bench-top design and connects to the

USB port of a PC running the host application.
